Donner LAX COMP Guitar Pedal true analog compressor pedal

Is a great compressor

Works well and will be using it for recording and live.

These Donner products are first class in their presentation both in quality and what is advertised as a true sounding instrument.

On special for under $60AU, I couldn't help myself. And it's a winner! Love the 'high boost' setting to allow the Strat notes to really sing. And it's also good for bass. Want to try more of these Donner pedals now.

Adds surprise gain in the form of light overdrive-like dirt while engaged and playing (it’s not noise floor), even with low sustain. It was quite a good overdrive tone, but the pedal didn’t kick my old compressor off the board, because on the rare occasions I like to play clean with a compressor. I gave it its own dc outlet on a (high quality) Cioks power supply. Had a good play with all settings, couldn’t kill the dirt.

Just buy it, it sounds wonderful, great flexibility, brilliant sounds. Can’t beat it on build quality & price.

I have really enjoyed everything in the Donner Vivid series and have become a big fan of Donner gear in general. The Lax Comp is a great compressor that I'd compare with my Keeley 4 knob!

I'm still playing with it to figure out what else it can do. I found a setting I like and am kind of stuck on it. Sounds great for such a tiny thing.

This versatile LAX COMP turns out as a sophisticated and nicely manufactured piece of equipment. I was impressed with the quality and outfit of this small beautiful box and what is more important - with the sound it produced. I tried it with my Hoffner and Jackson (active) basses through HARTKE HD25 and was blown away by how tight and powerful the sound appeared to compare with w/o LAX COMP. Next, I tried it with my Fender Strat and Marshall Origin 20 as well as Orange Rocker 15. Both amps produced a lively and professional sound thanks to the newly added comp. I should say it rejuvenated my BOSS SD2 and OD1 pedals. Highly recommend this small retro unit that perfects modern sound.

Great pedal. Stands up to more expensive units. Sounds great and does not colour your sound on the natural setting. The bright switch is a great feature to liven up a dark amp. Well worth the money and with the build quality I would happily gig with it.
